Chapter 38 - TAODE

Reku, walks into the hovel, she looks at her leaders they only gave one command. "Not a crack before sunrise." Reku like most of the others have been working throughout the night. They have stripped the get bare using the tents as bags every is folded into neat and square based triangles. They attach log hard wood to the bases allowing for eight separate points to carry the load with every one help there are barely enough gobo's. Because the Warbands are not carrying anything nor are they awake just like the leaders.

Reku goes to start moving things since she knows how to be quiet and all. She moves all the coccons to the center most triangle container. There is also where she has arranged for all the the most precious herbs, special plants and unknowns from the teeth the Horde has been giving.

In total there are five of these triangle containers each weighing about fifty kilograms and is two meters tall a meter wide and carried by ten gobo's per container. Reku is humming to herself softly and clearing the hovel it is the last thing left.

"What is that?" A voice behind directly behind sweeter than dried meat softer than silk. Reku's body snaps upward the few trinkets in her hands flying about widly. She manages to her voice. Her hands to heart, eyes darting all around.

"Over here," Reku turns to her left, letting out a sigh that might as well be a shout. The room chills, Reku and Diana stand absolutely still not moving or breathing. It fades again this time more controlled she let's out the fear and terror that had sprung up in her.

Diana grabs her by arm and walk out the hovel together. Reku would have said something but Diana's scent kept her silent...

Around the same time...

Oda stands out from every goblin at the kobold dungeon. He is taller than all, more handsome and more powerful. His scent dominating the immediate area. Scent can also be used as Oda does which then allows him to command so long as he is not unreasonable. He waited for the sun to come up because he was told its the best time to go as the dungeon would have just refreshed.

Oda hurls himself into the dungeon, the pack of Great Hyena is coming over the horizon and he doesn't want to be caught in that fight. Oda spots a group. Looking around, he soon realizes that he has to bite the mango and ask about this group.

"You there! Gobo's wait up I have a question I need to ask." Oda keeps his scent going it should make things a little easier if they know how strong he is. He also manages his pitch sounding smooth as flowing water. Only one of them stop putting his huge bag down.

"C'mon let's us hears it then," this particular goblin has a face full of warts and no front teeth. A greedy little fellow not so green in the skin. His ragged clothes and dull knife aren't the only blunt things about him.

"A bago of Goblins arrived yester, jew seen them?" Oda tries a bit to talk Scratch but sounds like he has two large pebbles stuck in his mouth. Some gobo use Scratch to talk because its sounds smoother than Linic especially when spoken well.

The other gobo, chuckles scenting appreciatation, he has taken it as Oda trying to meet him at his level. His smile is as horid as his nails yellow and filled with some kind of growth. "We've saws them. What innit for Krapa." The grub grubber holds out his dirty bandaged hand. For a small gift of gratitude it is only proper after all, for any decent spruiker like Krape.

Oda holds out his hand in a fist with something in it, "Where are they?"

Licking his lips Krapa and holding out his hand closer, "Gimme its first." Oda pulls back his hand. Putting his hand behind his back Kraa nearly leaps at him.

"Nik far'i! Info first Krapa!" Oda didn't realize how deep his anceint blood goes he spoke some old tongue while pressing for the information.

Krapa spits a glob of spittle so dirty its burns the ground. "Eastern clearing, easy going." Krapa smeirks as he says this knowing full well that's a lie. The Eastern clearing is on eof the most dangerous spot in all the dungeon.

"They better or else Krapa," Oda threatens his scent smelling oddly sweet, which seems to terrify Karpa as he bolts without even looking at the piece of wood Oda have him.

Oda makes his to Eastern Clearing their are kobold all over but in one's or two and quite far apart too he checks his shield, not k owing what for exactly. He then smacks his sword against it. He is trying to psych himself up. A standing Kobold is twice is almost twice his height. His drum like heart pounding he moves, edging closer to a singular kobold.

Oda swings his sword at it kobold, he barely managed to get his attack in first. Holding his shield close, his one cut creates for additional cuts all up the arm. The kobold starts breathing from all the cuts.

The bright brown fur paw smashes into his shield, he rattles like a wind chime. Sliding to the side he should have bben able to that but he froze. The bleeding helps the blood making Oda calm. He shakes the blow, the kobold on all four moves slowly then swipes!

This time dodges the paw slashing it as it passes by him, the cuts growing up its other arm. It's screeches the pain in its voice spurs him on like a jingle. He swing around the neck of kobold grazing it deep enough to make a cut. He fellows up with another slash before guarding from a kick.

Again he rattles, the wind almost knocked out of him. He swings at the body of the kobold, it lurches up onto its hind legs. Towering over his sword slashing at its gut. He stands with his shield above his head as blow after blow is delivered. For every blow he takes. Oda is giving it three at least sometime even four.

The kobolds heavy paws had numbed his legs when he got hit the second time so now he has to fight since he can't run. Oda swings like mad the gut of kobold looking like a sherred tent. Blood pooling all around him. He breathes in some of the blood has creep into him healing him a little and providing another pip.

He is now at ten pips each single slash producing ten smaller cuts. The blood thick in the air. Oda swings again as his world is flipped to the side. Unfortunately for him the Kobold has just swept his legs out from under him. He falls into blood. The kobold is wozzy its legs bleeding and shaking. The arms ribboned with wounds all over the kobold can't even manage a roar and simply brings with all its might its two gaint paws.

Oda sees this, his thinks about dying, he rolls away he afraid of dying. He won't thus chance go to waste, he can do It this time. He scents of blood being a level five its not easy especially with no talent at least he has his Aura. Which is why he still has enough strength for one more move.

Oda rolls again further this so that he can get on his feet, he discards his tattered shield. Oda looks at kobold as it moves towards h like it has arthritis. Every movement pained and soft wailing and scent of despia lr and fury. Oda takes his last breath runs at the kobold. It swings a paw at him, Oda jumps up spinning in the air.

Twist was to give him extra power in his final slash, the Kobold too late too slow and too pained can only watch as a sword goes through its head. It starts to fall over backswards Oda can sopt from this height five other kobolds coming towards him.

'Shimata it must have been the blood," this was why the others didn't want to work with his Aura attracts more enemies and in greater numbers. It drops dead, Oda resigned to his fate sit on the kobold waiting for his destiny. He is not going to let himself be killed easily but five is way too many and they run to fast.

When he can hear the foot steps of the group, he stands with his sword in his hand.

"Yahhh!" He yells with everything he has scenting death and blood. His scent explodes throughout the area, the kobold still coming faster than ever. He collapses falling into sea of blood...
